The
Yozakura clan's explosive espionage dynamic finally has a return date. The
production company NBC Universal revealed a new promotional
video announcing that the second season of Mission: Yozakura Family (known
in Japan as Yozakura-san Chi no Daisakusen) will premiere on April
12.
The preview
served to present a fragment of the songs that will set this new stage. Idol
group Sakurazaka46 will perform the opening theme titled
"What's 'KAZOKU'," while music project Pilaf Alien will
be in charge of the closing theme titled "Shalala." The series will
occupy the coveted Sunday block "Nichigo" through the MBS and TBS networks.

about Mission: Yozakura Family
The
production of this sequel presents an interesting restructuring in its
technical team within the SILVER LINK studio. Creative Mirai
Minato is promoted to the position of chief director and remains as
general supervisor of the scripts. For his part, the titular director's chair
is now occupied by Takahiro Nakatsugawa (who already knew the
franchise after working as a storyteller and episode director in the first
installment).
The rest of
the veteran team returns to maintain the visual and auditory consistency of the
work: Mizuki Takahashi in character design, Koji
Fujimoto in soundtrack composition and Toru Kanegae as
sound director.

The

arrival of a new talent to give voice to one of the characters that will be
added in this story arc:
- Kaito
Ishikawa as Sosuke Michibata

Prince Poro's Diaries), began serialization in the pages of Shueisha's iconic Weekly
Shonen Jump magazine in August 2019. After several years of great
success, the comedy and action story reached its definitive conclusion in
January 2025, publishing its twenty-ninth and final compiled volume printed in
